All-on-4 Concept With Use Of Zygoma Implants for Rehabilitation in the Severely Atrophied Maxilla With a Definitive Immediate Restoration.

This case report of a 45-year-old patient at initial presentation shows an illustration of the limitations of periodontal maintenance therapy and subsequent implant prosthetic therapy. In close consultation with the patient, treatment strategies were adopted to maximize the preservation of prognostically questionable teeth. Eight years later, the patient had a highly atrophied maxilla that could be successfully restored with implants. This was achieved with 2 zygoma implants and 2 anterior conventional implants, which were immediately loaded according to the All-on-4 concept and immediately provided with a definitive prosthetic restoration. The case report demonstrates to the general practitioner that using zygoma implants in such constellations may offer a solution to achieve a fixed, rapid, and financially acceptable prosthetic rehabilitation.
